WhatsApp Update for iPhone gets ability to queue message offline

WhatsApp for iPhone has received a new update that lets users send the message even when they are offline. The feature basically queues your message in case you don’t have the internet connection and it gets send once you get back onto an active internet connection.

Prior to this update, the Send button would not be active if your phone was without an internet connection. Moving on the update which bumps the app to version 2.17.1.WhatsApp has also included the ability to Clear Chat and free up some additional space. Now, you can select up to 30 images and send in one go. The ability has been available on Android for some time now. But earlier, you had to go back to the specific chat windows to clear up the data.

At 95.6MB (for the iPhone 5s) in size, the update itself is small but adds a few useful features to the app which, not to mention, were the painful shortcomings of the ubiquitous messaging app. You can delete specific media like texts, images, GIFs, videos and voice message from specific chats to free up space.This can be accessed by going to Settings Data and Storage Usage Storage Usage. Like seriously, WhatsApp! Did it take so long for you to add this feature? It is not turned on by default and requires manual intervention.
